Description
- The present invention relates to a hysteresis compensation method for a weighing device.
- The hysteresis error is one of main causes for weighing errors in a weighing sensor or the weighing system in general. Compensating for or correcting the hysteresis error of the weighing sensor or the weighing system is essential for improving the weighing precision of the weighing sensor or the weighing system, which contributes for accurate weighing data measurement and weighing applications.
- The existing hysteresis compensation method for a weighing sensor or a weighing system generally have problems of low applicability, unreliable compensation effect, and limited compensation application range. For example, in the document titled “A NEW HYSTERESIS COMPENSATION METHOD FOR LOAD CELLS” Zhu Zijian and Chen Renwen, Jun. 2002: vol. 19, No. 1:89-93, an e-exponential or a similar mathematical method is used for compensating hysteresis errors for a weighting sensor or a weighing system, and the e-exponential or the similar mathematical method and the envelope curve shape for a hysteresis calibration need to satisfy a certain fitting relationship. This fitting relationship cannot be guaranteed in practice due to complicated weighing sensor or weighing system, thereby resulting in a poor hysteresis compensation effect for the weighing sensor or the weighing system. Moreover, when complicated weighing sensor or weighing system is subjected to hysteresis, there is even a crossover in envelope curves for hysteresis calibration, resulting in a situation in which the compensation error is zero at the intersection during hysteresis compensation, and further resulting in an uncertain state for the hysteresis compensation method, which affects the reliability of the compensation effect of the hysteresis compensation method for the weighing sensor or the weighing system, and limits the application range of the hysteresis compensation method.
- The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is the limited application ranges and unreliable compensation effects of the prior art hysteresis compensation methods. The technical problems associated with the prior art devices is solved by a new hysteresis compensation method. The method utilizes the system's own hysteresis compensation in conjunction with an ideal hysteresis compensation and achieves an excellent hysteresis compensation effect in a complicated hysteresis situation.
- The present invention provides a hysteresis compensation method, in which a hysteresis error is calculated for an obtained weighing value by means of an ideal hysteresis error model, and an ideal compensation value is further calculated by means of an ideal hysteresis compensation model. By using a proportional relationship between a system hysteresis error model established in hysteresis calibration and the ideal hysteresis error model, the ideal compensation value is corrected to a final compensation value.
- The present invention leverages the proportional relationship between the ideal hysteresis error and the system hysteresis error obtained by hysteresis calibration in order to simplify the known complicated hysteresis situation. The complicated hysteresis situation can be represented as ideal hysteresis situation, thereby further correcting on ideal hysteresis compensation value, which improves the precision of hysteresis compensation. Good precision can be achieved in spite of the presence of a cross line in the envelop curves of hysteresis calibration.
- Among them, the ideal hysteresis error and the ideal hysteresis compensation both use the calculation model for hysteresis errors and error compensation in the prior art to realize the calculation of ideal hysteresis compensation.
- Preferably, the establishment of the system hysteresis error model comprises the steps of:
- recording weight data output by a scale and position information of a standard weight on a scale platform during the sequential and individual loading and unloading of the standard weight at any position on the scale platform; and
- calculating, for each group of the weight data, loading and unloading hysteresis errors, respectively, and establishing the system hysteresis error model in conjunction with the corresponding position information.
- In the present invention, the position information and the loading and unloading hysteresis error corresponding to the position information are taken as parameters of the system hysteresis error model or as the basis for parameter calculation. It is no longer limited to the selection of few fixed test points on the scale platform during the calibration process. In addition, more points can be sampled in calibration, which improves the accuracy of the error calculation, and at the same time, the selection of any test point on the weighing tray also simplifies the operation during calibration.
- Preferably, the proportional relationship is a proportional function of the data of the system hysteresis error model and data of the ideal hysteresis error model.
- In the present invention, the ratio between each data in the system hysteresis error model and each data in the ideal hysteresis error model is used to constitute a proportional function, through which the compensation value is corrected.
- Preferably, the final compensation value is a product of the ideal compensation value and the proportional relationship.
- Preferably, the system hysteresis error model comprises a quadratic function fitted by combining each group of loading and unloading hysteresis errors with the corresponding position information. The present invention uses the method of fitting a quadratic function to quickly establish a system hysteresis error model and reduce the extent of dependency on the system.
- Preferably, each group of loading hysteresis errors (ErrUp) and unloading hysteresis errors (ErrDown) are derived from loading measurement value (Weight1) and unloading measurement value (Weight2) at any test point, such that:
-
- Preferably, establishing the ideal hysteresis error model comprises the steps of:
- obtaining the maximum hysteresis error of the scale at a full range; and
- then fitting, during loading and unloading, a function with hysteresis errors at no-load, full-load and several points between no-load and full-load respectively, wherein the function constitutes the ideal hysteresis error model.
- The present invention samples a plurality of points from the no-load to the full-load process to fit the function, thereby improving the precision of the proposed ideal hysteresis error model.
- Preferably, the function is a quadratic function, or an exponential function, or a polynomial function.
- Preferably, the ideal hysteresis compensation model comprises a loading compensation correction factor and an unloading compensation correction factor, wherein:
- the loading compensation correction factor=AI+BI*raw_count+CI*raw_count^2;and

FIG. 3 , a standard weight is selected within the range of a platform scale S, and the standard weight is loaded and unloaded on a weighing tray at any position on the weighing tray, and loading and unloading measurement values as well as position information of the standard weight on the weighing tray are recorded. - In the schematic diagram of a scale platform P as shown in
FIG. 2 , a weighing sensor is provided on each of the four corners of the scale platform P of this embodiment, and coordinates are established on the scale platform P according to the coordinate system shown inFIG. 2 , and the position information of the weighed object on the scale platform P is calculated by using the existing barycenter position calculation algorithm for weighed objects. - In this embodiment, the standard weight is loaded and unloaded at four different positions A, B, C, and D shown in
FIG. 2 , and the measurement values and position information of the four positions as well as the weight values of the standard weight are obtained at this time. The hysteresis errors are calculated, and the calculation formulas are as follows. - If Weight1 and Weight2 are loading and unloading measurement values at any test point, hysteresis errors ErrUp and ErrDown for the loading and unloading are respectively as follows:
-
- The weight data of the four sequentially numbered weighing sensors in the scale S as shown in
FIG. 2 are denoted as W1t, W2t, W3t, W4t, respectively. Then the weight of the weighted object is denoted as Wot=W1 t+W2t+W3t+W4t. - The barycenter position information of the weighed object on the scale platform P are calculated as Xot and Yot:
-
- Then, position information of the four different positions A, B, C and D and loading and unloading hysteresis errors are grouped as a quadratic function, which is taken as a system hysteresis error model.
- In another embodiment, the weighing sensor 1 is omitted, and W1 is replaced by the standard weighing data W, so that three weighing sensors are implemented to calculate the barycenter position information of the weighted object on the scale platform P.
- In still another embodiment, a matrix of 7+7 on the scale platform P is used and the barycenter position of the weighted object is calculated using a neural network algorithm or the like.
- In this embodiment, the full-range value W_max of the platform scale S is determined according to the weight value for the standard weight, and the maximum hysteresis error max_largest is obtained according to the measurement values for loading and unloading operations on the scale platform P, and then the loading process is fitted into a quadratic equation by three points (0, 0), (W_max/2, -max_largest) and (W_max, 0), and the unloading process is fitted into a quadratic equation by three points (0, 0), (W_max/2, max_largest) and (W_max, 0). These two quadratic equations are taken as an ideal hysteresis error model.
- In another embodiment, a quadratic equation is fitted by using six points including no-load and full-load in the process from no-load to full-load, through which the precision of the constructed quantity hysteresis error model is improved.

In this embodiment, the e-exponential is simplified to a linear function, and at this time, the hysteresis compensation formula during loading is as follows:
-
- where AIE is the difference between an initial value during loading and an ideal curve, RMAX is a system range, and change_sign_value is a point initial value.

- An ideal hysteresis compensation model is constructed by the above compensation formulas for the loading and unloading processes. In this embodiment, the ideal hysteresis error model and the ideal hysteresis compensation model are combined to form an ideal hysteresis model.
- After the platform scale records the above system hysteresis error model and the ideal hysteresis model, the hysteresis compensation procedure in this embodiment is as follows:
- When the scale is unloaded, parameters such as AIE, ADE, and parameters in the current loading and unloading direction as well as in the previous loading and unloading direction in each model are initialized. In this embodiment, when initialized, the above parameters can be reset to zero.
- Then, the direction is determined, that is, according to the comparison between the current measurement value as well as the previous measurement value, and the preset thresholds, it is determined whether the direction of this weighing is loading or unloading.
- Then, the compensation value is calculated. For the loading process, it is determined whether the previous loading and unloading direction is different from the current loading and unloading direction, if so, the parameters such as AIE are recalculated by using the ideal hysteresis error model, and the weight value for the current loading is recorded, and then a compensation amount is calculated based on the loading compensation formula described above or the loading compensation formula simplified by using the e-exponential. If they are the same, the parameters such as AIE and the weight value for the current loading are directly used, and the compensation value is calculated based on the loading compensation formula described above or the loading compensation formula simplified by using the e-exponential.
